Why do you care so much about someone deciding not to buy a game as a result of this? I would say if someone who planned to buy the game decided not to because of this it makes an impact on that person.

That person gets asked by a friend why they didn't pre-order. they tell them. that friend who didn't know now knows. it spreads.

you are not the judge of what is and isn't impactful. or what does and doesn't matter.

How does that signal reach Take2? How will Take2 know that these sales that will not have happened were due to their union busting?

When will those people "cave in" and simply buy the game whenit's been released for 4 years on discount? These things don't work without a PR campaign. I don't make the rules. I'm sim'ly the messengere

you seem to be a messenger for your own opinions and nothing else.

and your methods don't make you righteous or just. all it shows is that you're a very loud soapboxer with an idealist take on the situation.

Your dismissal is duly noted. As well as the fact that you didn't address my objections and we're having different interpretations of what "idealist" means.
